Stepping
Through
the
Measurement
There
are
four
basic
steps
in
performing
a
stimulus-response
measurement,
whether
it
be
a
transmission
or
reection
measurement:
set
up
the
receiver
settings
,
calibrate
,
normalize
,
and
measure
.
1.
If
necessary
,
perform
the
self-calibration
routine
for
the
tracking
generator
described
in

Tracking
Generator
Self-Calibration

connect
the
equipment
as
shown
in
Figure
7-2 .
This
example
uses
a
bandpass
lter
with
a
center
frequency
of
321.4
MHz
as
the
DUT
